It's astounding to think about how our lives would work without electricity. Luckily, we only realize the impact of electricity when the power's out! But this well-researched, at-level volume provides young scientists with an up-close look at electricity, exploring essential scientific topics such as batteries, circuits, conductors and insulators, electricity generation, and safety issues. After each topic's explanation, readers are invited to complete a related activity, through step-by-step instructions, including making a lemon battery, building an electroscope, constructing a wind turbine, and much more. A final quiz allows reader to assess their understanding of electricity facts.

"Cash, Fitch, and Bird Thomas are three siblings in seventh grade together in Park, Delaware. In 1986, as the country waits expectantly for the launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger, they each struggle with their own personal anxieties. Cash, who loves basketball but has a newly broken wrist, is in danger of failing seventh grade for the second time. Fitch spends every afternoon playing Major Havoc at the arcade on Main. And Bird, his twelve-year-old twin, dreams of being NASA's first female shuttle commander. The Thomas children exist in their own orbits, circling a tense and unpredictable household, with little in common except an enthusiastic science teacher named Ms. Salonga. As the launch of the Challenger approaches, Ms. Salonga gives her students a project; they are separated into spacecraft crews and must create and complete a mission. When the fated day finally arrives, it changes all of their lives and brings them together in unexpected ways"--OCLC.
